It is entirely possible that your purchase of a motorcycle for your personal use, and your use of it, might affect the review of your Social Security Disability benefits and the continuing determination that you are still disabled. A favorable decision by an Administrative Law Judge (the hearing officer you usually see before being awarded benefits) is dependant on the ALJ's findings that your medical problems prevented your working at substantive gainful employment; it appears, on the surface, that the purchase and use of a motorcycle suggests that your motor and exertional (your strenghts to do things) capacity have improved, and now, you are able to work at some jobs in the national economy. The issue, basically, is the Adminstration's determination concerning your ability to do work. Being able to ride and use a motorcycle suggests more physical ability, such as an ability to sit, to balance, to make fine judgments and distinctions, to experience a wide variety of changes in the environment, use you arms and body in fairly vigorous exertion, than you usually encounter is a person who is disabled. Next, depending on the source of your benefits, that is SSI, or SSDI, the ownership of the motorcycle might cause your assets to excede the limits permited by the state system which administers the federal program which pays your benefits. This question cannot be answered without much more information. The Social Security Administration's local office can and could help you with the answer to the question. This is the kind of question they deal with every day; further, they would have the facts in your paticular case.

Yes, you can own a motorcycle while receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. However, the value of the motorcycle may affect your eligibility for SSI, as it could be considered an asset that affects your income and resources. It's important to report any ownership of assets to the Social Security Administration.

No, banks cannot garnish Social Security benefits, including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), for most types of debts. These funds are protected from being seized by creditors under federal law.
Can SSI be garnished?
Generally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cannot be garnished to pay debts owed to creditors. SSI is protected from garnishment by federal law, with few exceptions like unpaid federal taxes or child support. It is important to know your rights and seek legal advice if you are facing a situation where your SSI is being threatened to be garnished.
How much money can you make and still qualify for Social Security Disability benefits?
In 2010, People on disability can earn up to $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year) for most disabilities, or $1,640 per month ($19,680 per year) if legally blind. Earning more than these limits would be considered engaging in Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), would trigger a continuing disability review, and likely result in termination of the person's disability status with Social Security.If you decide to return to work, the SSA allows nine non-consecutive months where earned income is unlimited; however, any month a disabled person earns more than $720.00 is counted toward the nine-month trial work period.Social Security disability benefits may be temporarily reduced if the person is also receiving Worker's Compensation or other public disability payments. The total amount of all sources of government disability income, including SSDI, cannot exceed 80% of the worker's average current earnings at the time of disability.SSDI benefits are based on the amount of money a worker paid in FICA (insurance) taxes during his or her working years, and is not means-tested. The Social Security Administration only cares about earned income as a measure of work performance. There is no limit on passive income a disabled person can receive from other sources, such as pension, annuities, capital gains, dividends, gifts, etc. There is also no limit to the amount of income other family or household members may earn. None of this money affects your SSDI disability benefits.Different rules apply for people who are on SSI(Supplemental Security Income, a form of welfare for the disabled) or a combination of SSDI and SSI, which is means-tested. Only the SSI portion of the person's income may change; the SSDI payments are affected exactly as detailed above.
Will you loose your disability benefits if you get married?
Yes. Marriage, by itself, has no impact on whether you can receive disability benefits. If the Social Security Administration determines you are disabled and you (or your spouse) have accumulated an adequate number of work credits, you can receive benefit payments under SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) regardless of your marital status, assets or income.If you are found disabled, but you (or your spouse) do not have an adequate number of work credits, you may qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income), but only if your income and assets fall below certain thresholds. Some recipients may qualify for both SSDI and SSI, but you are less likely to receive SSI payments if your spouse is working.For more information, see Related Links and Sources, below.
